Strangely, the wild card, inflation, received little mention from Volker. Inflation is increasing and the only tool the fed has to restrain inflation is higher rates. Should inflation start to run is the Fed going to raise rates and kill government spending on anything except debt service?

They can keep rates down indefinately except if inflation returns. Inflation will be the undoing of everything and there won't be anything that the government can do to stop it. At least to me it seems that they are damned if they do, fanned if they don't.
